The condo itself was lovely & super clean. We did have a slight mishap with the door upon checking in, but that was resolved immediately. My only complaint is the parking. The pillars around the assigned spots are ridiculously tight and for me, it wasn’t worth the time & effort to park in our assigned spot. But that’s not the property owner’s fault. Definitely recommend this property.

Beautiful and clean condo just steps from the beach. Accommodated four adults and two children without feeling cramped. Small complex meant plenty of space on the beach. Covered parking space was tight for a large suv but there were plenty of additional parking spots in the parking lot. Would stay here again!

Left one day early. First time stay here this time of year. Was here few years ago in october and was lots better. Lots of people in small area, road construction made travel a headache. Noise from adjoining units made it hard to sleep. Could improve on shower head water pressure which made for long showers. Would recommend but wasnt for us at this time to enjoy and relax.

The location was directly on the beach, our condo had the balcony facing the ocean and you couldn’t beat the view. The condo was plenty big enough to fit 5-6 people. The only complaint my wife and I had was the bed in the master bedroom. It was so uncomfortable that my wife and I were waking up multiple times a night every night we were there. The bed was really stiff! It got so bad my wife chose to sleep on the couch rather than the bed the last night there. Other than this, our stay was great!

The property description clearly list a pool with a picture. The pool was closed and in very bad repair-- it was not a one day occurrence. it would have been nice to have the pool on the days when the surf was too rough to enjoy the ocean water. The bed sheets were too small for the mattress and would not stay on. Our assigned parking place was very small and difficult to maneuver, even though we had a small car. The beautiful location and large condo made the overall trip very nice.

Palms 501 was absolutely beautiful. As others have mentioned it looks to have been completely updated very recently, and the view is amazing. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean, the beach was not crowded, and the Realjoy staff was very helpful and friendly throughout the process.

It appeared there had been recent renovations and the result was a lovely condo with comfortable furniture and a very well-stocked kitchen with plenty of dishes and cookware. The view of the beach was fantastic. The parking was not the best set-up - difficult to maneuver in the covered area and a significant slope outside. One disappointment for us was the lack of restaurants or entertainment within walking distance. All in all, though, we very much our stay.

Really nice beach view and setting. Nicely decorated and outfitted. Nice kitchen, good beds, great tv's, & grid showers. Parking is not the best and limited by construction workers trucks. Overall, a very nice condo and well furnished with plenty of kitchen dishes, cooking utensils, etc.

Kinda disappointed

The unit was clean, nice kitchen and furniture. There were some things I would have fixed before renting. Master bathroom, you couldn't hang your towel up because half the bar was broken off. No mate to step out of the shower, the quarter round trim had paint chips all down it. Baseboards were dirty and the hot water didn't work in the sink. The bed had a cheap thin quilt for a blanket. The ac vents were Rusty and dirty.

Property was very clean and as described. Fantastic beach access. The only issue occurred after three days of heavy rainfall from Ida. A leak developed in the ceiling in the living room. I immediately reported to management. The ceiling leak stopped when the rain stopped however as of checkout no one had come to repair the ceiling. Thankfully no damage was done to the TV or furniture both of which were below the leak. Overall great home and location!

Parking is horrible! Someone hit my car in the tiny parking lot! And of course didn’t leave a note! The pool is tiny and not very clean! Outside doors on units are dirty and really need to be painted! Inside this unit was very nice and recently renovated only saving grace!

Beware the parking

Beware the parking

Condo overall was nice but there were several things that were frustrating about our stay. Parking is a nightmare if you are driving a large suv or truck. The assigned space can only fit a compact car and there is very little open parking that can accommodate a large vehicle. Every time we left I was afraid we would be unable to park when we got back. Our first night there we ended up locked out due to the keypad failing. They called a locksmith and had the keypad replaced but we had no access to a bathroom for two hours. Bathrooms were available at the pool but they wouldn’t give me the code to get in. The situation was completely unacceptable. We have three small children and no way for them to use a bathroom. We never received an apology or explanation for why we couldn’t get the code to the pool bathroom. We arrived about 30 minutes early and called to see if we could check in early. We were informed the owner didn’t allow any early check ins under any circumstances despite the unit being ready. I understand if it isn’t ready but to just say it’s never allowed seemed ridiculous.

This was a great unit and location. There was a small plumbing issue with the master shower but Realjoy was prompt to fix and offer compensation. The only really bad issue is parking in assigned place. The area under the building is incredibly tight, not that it can’t be done. I would rent this property again.

I loved that the location of the property was just steps away from the beach. It came with everything we could possibly need and was not far from the Destin Outlet! The decor was gorgeous and loved being on the balcony! It was stunning! I do wish it was a little bit cleaner. (Pieces of hair on comforter, old razor in the shower) besides these things it was immaculate and so very nice we enjoyed our stay very much!
